For those of us wearing protective styles, you see very little until it is time to take down the style. That is because when you do not manipulate your hair daily you end up with tons more when you finally take the style down. That happens because as many of those shed hairs have been trapped in the style and finally become released.

Outside of protective styles, some women are seeing a lot more hair falling out than normal. It can be one of the reasons above or something else entirely but when it does occur one can become scared, embarrassed, depressed or all of the above.
